LAH SS Bayonet - Real?

[cwmathews76]

I have an opportunity to pick up this bayonet and wondered if any of you "experts" knew if this is the real McCoy? I haven't seen one like this myself.
Thanks! Cody

low quality etch. Original bayonet, fake etch. This is known fake

[cwmathews76]

Thanks for the quick response. I will stay clear of this sucker. A known fake huh? The more I read on here the more I'm learning of all the fake stuff out there! Man you have to be careful with this third reich stuff! Thanks again!

Similar fake etches are mainly made on combat SG84/98 bayonets, here on dress KS98 is not so obvious, anyway the name of the unit is written in wrong form. best regards,Andy

Hi Cody - Agree with previous two gentlemen. How much is the person asking? Just curious. Is it being sold as an original etched bayonet?

Andy is correct, these spurious etches are most often encountered on SG84/98 bayonets. Origins 60's/70's UK, so says old timers. People still get fooled that do not use forums like this to vet these items.

Too scary. When I see stuff like this at shows I just keep on walking.
